On behalf of the Committee of the Whole

had under consideration Committee Recom-
mendation SF-3. It still has it under con-
sideration, and desires leave to sit again.
Are there any announcements by com-
mittee chairmen?
(There was no response.)
Are there any announcements by any
other delegates?
(There was no response.)
Any delegates present now not present

may do so on the supplementary roll call.

Delegate Powers, the Chair's intention
has been called to the fact that neither
your motion nor the Chair's report covered
Committee Recommendation SF-2. I as-
sume your motion was so intended.
DELEGATE POWERS: My motion in-
tended to include reporting on the action
taken by the Committee of the Whole with
respect to Committee Recommendation
SF-2.
THE PRESIDENT: That being the case,
the Chair on behalf of the Committee of
the Whole further reports that the Com-
mittee had under consideration Committee
Recommendation SF-2. That it approved
the Recommendation with amendments.
That report of the Committee of the Whole
is referred to the Committee on Style,
Drafting and Arrangement.
There is Minority Report R&P-1(D).
The Clerk will read the report.

PLENARY SESSION
DECEMBER 5, 1967—10:00 A.M.
PRESIDENT H. VERNON ENEY,
PRESIDING
THE PRESIDENT: The Sergeant-at-
Arms will clear the aisles and close the
doors.
The Convention will please come to order.
The invocation will be offered this morn-
ing by the Reverend John C. Chatlos of
Incarnation United Church of Christ, Em-
mi tsburg, Maryland, Frederick County.
Reverend Chatlos.
REVEREND CHATLOS: Let us unite
in prayer.
Almighty God without whom no people
can be great, we thank Thee for the prog-
ress and prosperity given to this State,
and for the countless temporal and spirit-
ual blessings bestowed upon its people. We
thank Thee for our birth and education
under Christian influences, and for the
civil and religious liberty that we enjoy.
Keep us ever aware that the good things
that we enjoy have come from Thee, and
that Thou didst lend them to us. Make us
more sensitive to Thy goodness and to our
responsibility as stewards of Thy gifts;
and grant us such true religion that by
our works and by our lives Thy Holy Name
may be forever glorified.
Deliver us from every influence that
would break down reverence for law and
corrupt our sense of corporate responsi-
bility. Purge our State from its evils, and
fill it with the spirit of Christ. Make it a
mighty factor in changing the world into
the Kingdom of Heaven.
Spare us, O God, from the faithlessness
of believing that as things have been, so
they must ever be, and from the timidity
of fearing to take the risks of progress.
Give us the courage which our times de-
mand, that we may build a world which will
be safe for our children and our children's
children, and in which all men shall bow
